Abandoned Kitten Captures NYPD Officers' Hearts And Becomes Part Of Their Team

Dogs are known for their incredible sense of smell, so many of them are trained to help the police with tracking criminals and discovering illegal substances. Thus, it’s normal to see these four-leg buddies wandering around an office. But what about cats? What’s the responsibility of the feline at such a place? Well, there are several reasons for it, but the primary one may be to brighten everyone’s spirit with their cuteness. Even the august police officers can't resist their loveliness!

The cat was abandoned at the station recently. He strolled around the place, snuggled up to the officers, and stole their hearts in no time. The sweet kitten gradually became a part of the agency, and no one wanted to take him to the animal shelter. But how could they keep the cat there?

A simple solution is making this lovely feline an official NYPD member. Everyone persuaded the commanding officer to adopt the kitten, and the boss had no reason to disagree. He only required the staff to take good care of the cat and clean up their waste.

“I told them, ‘I have two cats at home and two dogs, and I don’t have a problem with it, but we got to get a litter box and you have to clean out the litter box,” Deputy Inspector William Taylor explained.
“I’ll even foot the expense, the food, the water, the treats — but I’m not cleaning out the litter box.’”

And that’s how this lovable kitten became the precinct's newest member! He is now called Martin- inspired by Officer Martin D. Costanza, one of the officers who had pleaded to keep him.
The abandoned cat seems to end up at the right place where he enjoys every day of his life now. His name is called at the daily roll call, and he’s in charge of “inspecting" his colleagues and giving them lots of laughs. “He cheers me up. The guys come by and get a chuckle out of him, the ones who are having a hard day,” Taylor said.

Not only do the officers adore Martin but the citizens who come to the place also fall for him. The feline charm is obviously too strong to resist!
“He’s definitely lifted spirits. There’s not one person here, cop or civilian, that doesn’t adore this cat,” Deputy Inspector William Taylor shared. “He has the run of the precinct. He took control of the place right away.”
